Our Take
China Crisis may not be a household name like The Beatles or Oasis, but this Liverpool duo has been serving up some seriously dreamy pop tunes since the early 80s. The Complete Sessions 1982-1983 is a delightful flashback to the band's early days, showcasing their knack for crafting catchy hooks and lush melodies. From the shimmering synths of "No Ordinary Lover" to the melancholic beauty of "Christian," this collection is a masterclass in sophisticated pop songwriting. Gary Daly's velvety vocals float effortlessly over Eddie Lundon's jangly guitar work, creating a sound that's both timeless and ahead of its time. While some tracks veer into slightly cheesy territory (looking at you, "Some People I Know to Lead Fantastic Lives"), there's no denying the sheer charm and craftsmanship that went into each song. The band's influences are clear - shades of Japan, Roxy Music, and The Beach Boys can be heard throughout - but China Crisis manages to put their own unique spin on things. Whether you're a diehard fan or a newbie looking to expand your musical horizons, The Complete Sessions 1982-1983 is a must-have addition to your collection. So grab a cuppa, put on your favourite paisley shirt, and prepare to be transported back to a time when pop music was all about big hair, bigger hooks, and unapologetic romanticism. Cheers, China Crisis - you've earned your spot in the pantheon of quirky British pop legends.
